A bit of time from the party.

"I'm going to have to leave the party for a bit," Darkness told Kazuma as they left the courtroom, and she passed the Sex Note back to him.

Kazuma quickly opened it up, and wrote, "Lalatina will become immune to any form of control over her besides use of this specific Sex Note, whether it is for sexual purposes or otherwise."

Darkness blinked. "What was that about?"

"Making absolutely certain that you can't be controlled by that bastard," Kazuma replied bluntly, stowing the Note back in his pockets. "I don't know what happened between him and Sena at that last moment in that courtroom, but I don't like it one bit."

"Well, it wasn't another Sex Note, I can tell you that much," Ria replied, floating down towards the two.

"And you're certain of this?" Kazuma asked Ria.

"Kazuma, those Notes are linked to our very essence," Ria deadpanned. "Even if I couldn't sense the presence of another Sex Note, I can tell the difference between the Sex Note's influence, and other, cruder forms of influencing others... Plus, if Alderp had touched a Sex Note, he would have seen all the rude gestures I was making at him, and I doubt he would have been able to ignore it."

"Okay, so we can rule that out at least," Kazuma sighed in relief.

"It's probably a good thing you took that precaution," Darkness noted. "He's... Been fixated on me since I was a child. Ever since his wife died, he's been approaching me with proposals of marriage... I always refused in the grounds of the age difference, but he never gave up..."

"...since you were a kid!?" Kazuma raged, barely holding himself back from going back into that court room to dismember that sick fuck. He knew if he did, there would be no getting out of legal trouble, but it would be so very worth it... "... don't suppose I could use the Sex Note to cause him to get himself killed in a particularly humiliating way, could I?" Kazuma asked Ria, who shook her head.

"Afraid not. The Sex Note can't be used like a Death Note. You can cause situations that can lead to someone dying, sure, but it would have to be completely unintentional on the writer's part. If you would settle for humiliation on the other hand..."

"Oh yeah, I got something," Kazuma grinned in an absolutely sadistic manner, and opened the Note again, and after getting the full name of Alderp from Darkness, wrote, "Alexi Barnes Alderp will suffer immediate, and intense explosive diarrhea that will only leave him just enough time to run to the nearest toilet every time he has a lustful thought towards Lalatina. He will not be able to consider Kazuma Sato, or anyone connected to him as being responsible for this."

"...okay, that's... Gross..." Darkness noted, going green.

"Don't care," Kazuma snorted, pocketing the Note again. "I can't kill the guy, but I'm going to make that fucker's life an absolute living hell. And make damn well sure he keeps his hands off of you in the bargain."

"I just hope it doesn't complicate my negotiations with him too much..." Darkness sighed. With that, they parted ways for the time being.
